The Man In Blue

Chapter 2:Dream

"The most massive stars in the universe have the shortest life expectancy and it shines the   brightest before its death, enough to make the universe blind..."

"Miss.Hides" said the mysterious man, he had an odd pair of hazel eyes which were shinning so brightly that it almost lighted a spark in Ellena's fading world contra to this was his cold aura which was supported by his snow like hair, a very pale face and the formal navy blue attire he was wearing. He was walking towards Ellena who was cluelessly staring at him, countless thoughts were dangling in her head, for a moment she was scared by the fact that A STRANGER SHE HAD NEVER MET BEFORE KNEW HER NAME and  for another moment she was doubting him to be the mystical man in the rumors as he too was dressed in navy blue. In midst of this chaotic thinking he who now was standing just in front of her spoke with a very warm yet sophisticated voice "Miss.Hides, I am here to escort you to your death." Surprised and shocked Ellena was now extremely horrified she was scared for her life like any other person would be when encountered with a possible murderer looking suspicious person. While she was trying to process all that was happening, the mysterious man again said "I am sure you have received a gift card Miss.Hides -" "I have zero idea what that is for or how it came but please don't kill me!!! I am telling you I really don't know anything about it!!!" taking a few steps back said Ellena in a rushed manner before he could even finish his sentence. "I think you are greatly mistaken Miss.Hides, I am not trying to kill - why?Because I don't need to, You are already dead." said He.

Not believing a single thing like a usual sceptic, she proceeded to run with all her might away from the stranger. "What is wrong with this man, is he crazy or what" perplexed she said while breathing non uniformly, as she was running for her life she suddenly noticed that the snow that was deep enough to bury her feet had melted and the trees which were covered with snow were now blossoming into bright violet coloured chaste trees and the gloomy streets of Hoax Street was now a classic red bricked road, confused she stopped and thought "Am I dreaming?"- To this replied the man "No you certainly are not, this is not just your imagination." Taken aback Ellena asked"How are you here, why are you following me?" to this the man said"I am not following you, I simply am doing my job but you don't even believe that you are dead, thus here I am showing you, after all seeing is believing isn't that the human way." Now even more confused Ellena said"How are these trees the prove of my death? Are you planning to bury me down there or what?" "You are quite an imaginative fellow aren't you, I am not showing you spring for nothing, this is to prove that I definitely am not Human." said he and then they both were back at Hoax Street again, this change in setting was clearly making Ellena puzzled, she was constantly reminding herself that this is unreal and she is dreaming. "Don't spin your head around Miss.Hides, go climb up to the rooftop and you'll find for yourself." At this point she was too tiered and a million things were passing through her head she could neither believe him nor could she refuse to believe him a total dead end. "Miss.Hides...?" he asked, finally coming to a conclusion she started going upstairs, she needed not to open the door, everything was as clear as day light, a strange feeling took over her, bewildered the spark which was starting to ignite blew off, faded, completely ended, light completely spewed and darkness overtook her.

She was dead not when she died but when darkness took her life. From birth to dead, she lived a miserable life, no one cared when she was alive, no one will care now that she died. A quite lonely life. Her tears were dried, she could not cry, her dark brown eyes turned pitch black, it was a black-hole but unlike it, these were void. "Miss.Hides..." hearing this familiar voice she asked "Mister...I am really dead?" he just nodded. She was unable to comprehend the situation she could not grasp it, she was unable to accept it. Ellena asked the mysterious man "Do you think dead Ellena will too suffer, will anyone find her or will she be laying in this cold snow for days, will she find peace?" "I am not the Almighty, I cannot see the future but I can make your present better than your past, your body might be dead but I can see that your soul is still alive... Miss.Hides would you like to come with me to the Afterlife?" "Will this painful nightmare stop if I do?" said Elly "It will become a beautiful dream." replied he. The world stopped, time skipped, the spring trees, those violet chaste trees, the classic red bricked road. A blaze she could see unlike Hoax Street. Following the mysterious man she entered a 19th century styled building which had a wine shop in the ground and first floor and what looked like a residential floor in the second floor, the name of the wine shop was written in fancy italics "Constellations". They both went inside, then the mysterious man reached out for a bottle of wine, poured it in a stemmed glass and then told Ellena "You can drink this and let out all your anxieties, this will change your nightmare into a dazzling dream."

He added "I Aconite can assure that you'll be more lively than you were when you were alive." "You will shine like a dazzling light, here in Constellations were starts intertwine."
